met for the first time, along with cousin Allan
Broadhead. Picture: Scott Bairstow. PD41922

Trio united after
newspaper story
Two sisters have met each other for the first time
after tracking each other down through an article in
the Chronicle.
Diane Middleton and her cousin Allan
Broadhead had been trying to trace Diane’s halfsister Shirley Middleton, but had hit a brick wall.
Allan, 75, of Stanhope Avenue, Cawthorne,
discovered his mother’s side of the family when he
was doing his family tree. He and Diane found each
other about ten years ago and decided to try and
find Shirley. The three of them arranged to meet after
one of Shirley’s relatives spotted the article.
Shirley, who has the same father as Diane, had
been living in France with her husband Alf and the
couple returned to Barnsley in May. They are living in
Silkstone as their house in Wortley is renovated.
Allan’s wife Anita filmed their meeting, and
Shirley said she got the shock of her life.
Shirley was born in the 1940s to Fred and
Eleanor Middleton. The family originated from the
Wilthorpe area but Fred and Eleanor divorced, he
then got together with Diane’s mum. Eleanor left
with her daughter Elizabeth, who they are now trying
to trace. Shirley also has a sister called Sandra, who
was born in 1949.

Rescue centre seeks good homes

…DO YOU WANT TO BE SMOKEFREE?
Let us show you the easier way to

STOP SMOKING

Two animal rescue centres are
seeking homes for two long-term
residents.
Wesley, a Staffordshire bull
terrier/collie cross, and Blake, a
lurcher type, have been in rescue
kennels for months.
Blake, has been at Willow Dog
Rescue, Athersley for a year, and is
thought to be about three years old,
while Wesley, who is about 18
months old, has been wiith Barnsley
and District Animal Welfare since
March. “Blake is a gentle dog who is
in need of a loving home,” said
Karlie Wilson, from Willow Dog
Rescue. “He would need an owner
who can give him plenty of walks
and not leave him alone for more
than four hours a day.
“He would also need a home
with a fully enclosed secure garden.
“Blake would make a fantastic
companion for someone, but is so
sad living in the kennels.”
While Ann Taylor, from
BADAW, said: “Wesley is a quiet boy
and can be a little shy at first
meeting however he is very loving
once he gets to know you.
“After Wesley had been with
BADAW for a few weeks one of the
dog walkers noticed that he kept
falling down when they took him for
a longer walk. It turned out that
Wesley had a neurological problem.
This is something that he will have
to live with and for this reason the
rescue are desperate to find a new
home for him.”

“And, about three years ago
when I first moved to Dearne,
hundreds of thousands of tyres went

Another thing that sticks in his
mind is the reputed Brampton Fire

resting at night, on the middle floor,
you could hear footsteps upstairs of
someone running across the floor,” he
said.
“One of the lads once saw
someone behind a glass door in the

And, while he has seen a number

never really changed 34 years. “The

that’s not why you do it. You go into

Zombies will flock to event
Some 600 people have
registered interest to
take part in the
Barnsley Hospital
Zombie Run later this
year — including
groups from Norway
and Holland.
The five-kilometre
off-road race, organised
in aid of the Barnsley
Hospital Charity, takes
place at Worsbrough
Mill and Country Park
on October 19.
Runners this year
face two problems on
the route — 12
obstacles and hundreds
of bloodthirsty zombies
who will be hot on their
heels.
Katie Cartwright,
fund-raising manager
for Barnsley Hospital
Charity, is pleased with
the uptake, particularly
with people coming
from overseas.
She said: “So far

we’ve got about 600
who have registered
interest and it’s not
taking place until
October so I think we’re
going to sell out to the
capacity of about 1,000
places.
“We'’re going to
have to send runners
out in waves of about
200 people at a time at
20-minute intervals.
“I’m really pleased
with how it is going
and I think it’s a mix of
things that’s attracted
people, with new
zombie films and TV
shows like The Walking
Dead playing a part.
“It’s something
different to do and
we’ve even got groups
of people coming from
Norway and Holland
who have heard about
it on social media sites.”
Katie said Wheels
and Dreams will be

supplying speciality
vehicles for the day so
the park looks the part,
such as US Sheriff cars
and a New York
ambulance. There is
also an army of makeup artists who will be
on hand with lots of

which are still needed.

Acceptance of Conditions
In placing an order for the publication of an advertisement, the Advertiser accepts these terms and
conditions. No term or condition that conflicts with
them is binding on the Company or the Advertiser
unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of
both parties by an authorised signatory. These terms
and conditions shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. If
any provision in these terms and conditions is held
to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part the
remainder of them shall continue to apply. The
Company reserves the right at any time to change in
whole or in part these terms and conditions.
CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE OF
ADVERTISEMENTS
1 Advertiser’s Warranty and Indemnity
(i) The Advertiser warrants: (a) that the advertisement is legal, decent, honest and truthful and that it
complies with the British Codes of Advertising and
Sales Promotion, with any relevant codes of practice
and with all requirements of current legislation; (b)
that nothing in the advertisement is defamatory or
constitutes a malicious falsehood; (c) that the publication of the advertisement will not infringe copyright or any other rights vested in a third party; and
(d) that the Advertiser has secured all necessary
authorities and consents in respect of the use in the
advertisement of any pictorial representations or
other representations of (or purporting to be of) living persons and of references to any words attributed to living persons. (ii) The Advertiser will
indemnify the Company in respect of all costs, damages or other charges arising as a result of the publication of their advertisement or incurred in connection with any actions or claims brought against the
Company arising from a breach by the Advertiser of
the warranties in this paragraph 1 or otherwise from
the publication of the advertisement.
2 Refusing or Amending Advertisements
(i) The Company reserves the right to refuse to publish any advertisement whether or not the advertisement has been accepted or previously published.
(ii) The Company may require any alteration it considers necessary or desirable in an advertisement as
a prior condition of its publication, whether or not
such advertisement has been accepted or previously published. (iii) The Company will permit only
standard abbreviations and no hyperlinks or
metatags may be included in any advertisements
save with the prior consent of the Company.
3 Placement of Adverts
(i) Whilst the Company will endeavour to comply
with reasonable requests from Advertisers, the
Company does not guarantee the publication of any
advertisement or its publication on any particular
date or in any particular position. (ii) The Company
has at its absolute discretion the right to decide the
classification, if relevant, for any advertisement.
4 Cancellation
(i) The Company may cancel the Advertiser’s order
at any time and shall give notice of the cancellation
before the next due date of publication of the advertisement if practicable.
(ii) In no event can orders be cancelled once the
Company has commenced to carry out the order in
accordance with the first publication date requested
by the Advertiser. In other cases notice of cancellation must be received by the Company prior to the
relevant current deadline.
(iii) All cancellations must be notified in writing by
post or fax. E-mail notice of cancellation is not

5 Copyright
(i) Copyright of all artwork, copy or other material

(ii) The Advertiser authorises the Company to
record, reproduce, publish, distribute and broadcast
(or to permit the same) all advertisements (including
but not limited to text, artwork and photographs) and
to include and make them available in any information service, electronic or otherwise.
6 Advertiser’s Property
All artwork, photographs, leaflets, film or other property delivered by the Advertiser to the Company is
held by the Company at the Advertiser’s risk and the
Advertiser should insure all such property against
loss or damage from whatsoever cause. The
Company reserves the right to destroy without
notice all such material after the date of its last use
in connection with the publication of an advertisement, unless the Advertiser has given written
instructions to the contrary.
7 Box Numbers
(i) The Company will endeavour to forward all
replies to a box number, to the Advertiser, as soon as
possible after receipt, but the Company accepts no
liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to
have arisen through delay in forwarding or omitting
to forward such replies, howsoever caused. Box
addresses must not be used for sending goods or
materials of any value. The Advertiser authorises the
Company to examine material passing through
boxes and hereby authorises the Company to return
to its originator or destroy any communication,
which, in the opinion of the Company, should not be
delivered to the Advertiser.
(ii) Advertisements from dealers are not accepted
under a box number, nor may a box number be used

regulatory or government authority or to other third
parties where the Company, in its sole discretion,
deems it reasonable.
9 Limitation of Company’s Liability
(i) The Advertiser shall check the advertisement and
notify the Company immediately in writing of any
errors. The Company assumes no responsibility and
shall not be liable for the repetition of errors in a

event of any error, misprint or omission in the print-

ing of an advertisement or part of an advertisement
(however caused) the Company will either re-insert
the advertisement or relevant part thereof, or make a
reasonable refund or adjustment to the cost. No reinsertion, refund or adjustment will be made where
the error, misprint or omission does not materially
detract from the advertisement. (iii) In no circumstances shall the Company’s total liability (including
consequential liability) in respect of any error, misprint or omission exceed either the amount of a full
refund of any price paid to the Company for the
advertisement in connection with which liability
arose, or the cost of a further or corrective advertisement of a type and standard reasonably comparable
to that in connection with which liability arose. (iv)
Save as set out in this paragraph 9, the Company
accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage
occasioned directly or indirectly as a result of the
publication of any advertisement or any loss or damage occasioned directly or indirectly by any total or
partial failure (however caused) of the publication of
any advertisement in any of the Company’s newspapers, other publications or internet sites in which the
advertisement is scheduled to appear.

agency in respect of any unsatisfied liabilities of the
